That the penitentiary is physically unfit and unsanitary is, as the Mayor implies, a question not of administration but of appropria- tion. Why doesn’t the State Prison Commission call for the obvious ( legislative remedy? The removal of Warden Hayes, which appears S to be the Commission’s main object, would not enlarge or modernize the institution. What with the so-called investigation at Blackwell's Island and half-revealed plots at Sing Sing, the people of State and city are more , than ever disgusted to see how “influence” meddles with prisons. + Penology is a highly important science.

Having decided that they have helped pay long enough for ‘bridges and subways to link together other sections of the greater city, the people of Richmond have let their imaginations loose. “A subway to and through Staten Island” is now the slogan, and they don’t sing it as a joke. The action of the Board of Estimate in voting $4,000,000 for a mew tunnel from Manhattan to Queens under the $17,000,000 Queens- Dorough Bridge wae naturally galling to Richmond, which has been Tepeatedly told that the city is too poor even to continue the system 4 of transfers between the Municipal (Staten Island) Ferry and the surface lines of Manhattan. ye Tf the Board of Estimate is wise it will cease this sort of talk and 4 promptly recognize the claims of Staten Island by extending the ’ transfer arrangement to Manhattan elevated lines. Richmond has found a forcible way to rebuke the city for the “ kind of treatment it has been getting. Other boroughs, with their , ‘bridges, subways and tunnels, can hardly deny that Staten Island de- Ki eerves a better deal. % Se A Pittsburgh priest refused a fortune of $15,000,000 on the ground that he is afflicted with two ailments—age and rheu- matism.

N All experiments with public markets, co-operative food stores and direct-from-farm-to-kitchen projects come sooner or later bang up against the fact that housewives hereabouts will not take the thriftiest means of getting food supplies. After investigating retail prices of Yruit and vegetables in the city and tl.e various ways in which these commodities are handled ‘and sold, The World is forced to conclude that The great consuming public is not eager to get food at the lcast possible cost. Every now and then municipal markets start off with a flourish, Bat in a short time it is found that they are doing mainly a wholesale their food from the corner store and paying the same old prices, how- ever high they go. How long could even a $100,000,000 market sys- tem pay for ite up-keep unless the public made use of it? i New York women are too proud to go to market as do the women of Paris and Berlin. Neither the instinct nor the habit of thrift is in them. On the odds and ends the average New York household wastes in a week a French housekeeper would get a four- day supply of tempting ragouts and pot-au-feu, Women in this city talk “cost of living.” It is the fashion to @roan about it. But it is not the fashion to fall to and help reduce it. AY —_—_——(——————— ‘The mosquito that is making Manhattan miserable has black legs.

Mr. Jarr, who waa being led us a lamb to the sacrifice sale through the shopping district, wildered. “No, over there!" exclaimed Mrs, Jarr, directing him with her finger (though, as we all know, it’s rude to point). Mr. Jarr had no idea in the world what the new skirt was, nor in the multitude of women that hurried past them in both directions, all as eager as his own wife to save money by epending it, did he notice one skirt that differentiated from another, Still he thought it best to stimulate at least & passing interest, “It'a a swell thing,” he said, “I do admire your taste!" cried Mra. Jarr. “Don't you think the lines of last year’s skirts were much pret- ter?” “Oh, yes; oh, yest" sald Mr. Jarr, hurriedly. “But I think the new skirt contains much merit.” “Oh, you weren't looking at the ekirt,” said Mrs. Jarr, crushingly. “Your eyea were on the woman that wore ft. It's strange to me,” con- tinued she, “but that's the sort of woman that appeals to men!" A® Mr. Jarr had no idea what sort of woman it was that had worn the now skirt he had failed to notice, he kept silence. A freezing calm seemed to settle over Mrs. Jarr also. They walked on in this wise for half a block and then Mr. Jarr ventured feebly to ask if she didn't think it was a nice day. “Don't speak to me!" cried Mra, Jarr, And she raised her yell and dabbled at a tear that stood in the corner of her eye, “What's the matter?" |Jarr. “Gee whiz! ter now?” “I prefer you wouldn't speak to me,” said Mrs, Jarr. “Let us go home!” “What do you want to go home for?” asked Mr, Jarr. “Didn't you ask me to come downtown with you?

O I heard a email child exclaim the other day. “There's #o much of her turned up for feet.” Both his mother and I naturally gazed where he pointed. We saw a tall, heavy woman clad in a more or less ordinary way except for her feet, which were en- cased in shoes of a light sand color, with toes and heels picked out in a glittering black leather, with pipings of the same outlining the lacings, which were on the inside of each ankle, Possibly ahe wore a No. 6 1-2 or No. 6 shoe.

OO great care cannot be exer- T cised in the drawing of eo im- portant and solemn a document as a will, If in the drafting of other instruments ambiguities are permit- ted to alip in so that the meaning or intention may not be clear the mak- ere are usually at hand to explain or reform them. In @ will, of course, ambiguities cannot be explained by the maker, and the decedent's wishes may be defeated through misinter- pretation. Therefore it is by far the wisest thing to have an attorney draw your will. And do not underestimate the im- portance of making a will.

The law governing the disposition of personal property ts the law of the State where the will is probated, The law gov- erning the disposition of real prop- erty is the law of the State where the property is situated, This ig a most important point to romeatber when devising real property. For ex- ample, if the realty be eituated in the State of New York and the d e be a married man he must bear in mind that dower attaches; if it is situated in New Jersey no dower at- taches, The law prescribing the form of execution for a will must be followed closely or your instrument will be a nullity. It provides that the will must be subscribed by the maker in the presence of two witnesses, to whom he must declare the instrument to be his last will and testament and re- quest them to sign as witnesses, and they must do so in the presence of each other, A ee for Children Duck, “that Is a very, very old ques- tion, and if you want to talk to me you will have to talk about somethin now, People get awfully tired of tale ing about “the same old thing.
